When translating Clojure code to Scheme, I'm finding it quite easy to preserve source code information for the Gambit interpreter, so that when I get exceptions I am notified of the offending Clojure source lines. Is there an obvious way I could do this for compiled code as well?
There isn't a form for this, but that would be useful and I have thought about adding it. Something like a "source-at" special form.
For example,
(source-at "foo.scm" 10 2 ;; file line column ((source-at "foo.scm" 10 8 cons) (source-at "foo.scm" 10 8 x) (source-at "foo.scm" 10 10 y)))
would be equivalent to
(cons x y)
but with explicit source location information.
Actually this source-at form can be easily defined as a macro give me a few minutes.
